Accordionist Joseph Natoli presents his newest composition "Alone" (composed on April 13, 2020). Joe commented, “I was compelled to write this piece tonight because of the overwhelming sadness related to those who have had to suffer the tragedy of leaving this earth alone because of this pandemic. May God give them and their families comfort. "Alone" is in memory of those who lost their lives in the 2020 pandemic and left this world alone.” Joe Natoli, is a professional accordionist and composer and also President of ATG and a co-dirrector of the IDEAS Symposium held in November 2019.

His education includes Bachelor and Master of Music degrees in music theory and composition from the University of Toronto and international competition success with 2nd place, Coupe Mondiale in 1972. Joseph Natoli started his musical career primarily as a performer, but had always been interested in composition, and has focused on his compositional craft even more in recent years.
